We're dividing 875449 by 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 875449.

Going ahead to step 1:
8 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 87 / 42

On to step 2:
If we divide 87 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 3.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 84 from 87, we get 3.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 35 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
42 goes into 35 0 times with a remainder of 35.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 0 from 35.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 354 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 354 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 18.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 208.0
If we take 336 away from 354, we end up with 18.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 184 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 184 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2084.0
Deduct 168 from 184 and we're left with 16.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 169 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 169 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20844.0
If we subtract 168 from 169, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 10 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 20844.0
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
100 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20844.02
If we subtract 84 from 100, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 42 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20844.023
If we take 126 away from 160, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 42 fits into 340 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 20844.0238
Deduct 336 from 340 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
42 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 20844.0238
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
400 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 22.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20844.023809
Subtract 378 from 400 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 220 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20844.0238095
If we take 210 away from 220, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 100 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20844.02380952
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 84 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 20844.02380952 and a remainder of 1.6e-08.
